1)
I’ve got a friend, way cross town
his mother once named him Henry Browne
he’s living alone in a pan-cake house
computing his life with a little mouse
hey, hey, it’s a freaky house
hey, hey, it’s a freaky mouse
2)
He’s foolin’ around with roms and rams
tryin’ to make money, makin’ new programs
wasting his time in the summerbreeze
livin’ for money, it’s a strange disease
hey, hey, it really makes you sick
hey, hey, you’ve got no joy with your stick
Chorus:
Your money’s, never gonna make you high
you know what I mean now
your money’s, only gonna make you die
now, don’t forget to live your life
3)
Tight time-schedules, for every move
not enough time for the social groove
the fear of losing, fills the air
always tryin’ to be a millionaire
hey, hey, it’s the american way
hey, hey, don’t you hear what I say, now
Chorus:
Your money’s, never gonna make you high…..
1)
Well, I’m so angry and I’m really mad
thinking about the life that I’ve had
Cause all of the time I was feelin’ down
with nowhere to go, just running around
2)
Running around for a higher level
fighting for money, I was dating the devil
wasting my time, wanting more’n’more
my greed was growing like never before
Chorus:
Gold and money, and a diamond ring, won’t go far
now don’t be fooled, so don’t try to reach for a star
but, fight for love, and just stay the way that you are
3)
Well, now it’s time for an intermission
I’ve reached the point of (my) final decision
nothing’s greater than the taste of honey
so I’ll fight for love, and fuck the money
Chorus:
Gold and money…..
1)
I don’t want to be your sometimes
I don’t want to be a choice of your dice
the way you treat me, well you deceive me
and it makes my blood run colder than ice
’cause when I’m lonely, year really lonely
you just turn around and walk out on me
now, tell what it’s going to be
2)
I don’t want to be your lover
I don’t want to be the sheet of your bed
well do you want me, or do you cheat me
did you ever see the tears that I’ve bled
you know I’m lonely, year really lonely
but, don’t you give a damn about what you see
now, tell me what it’s going to be
Chorus:
I don’t want a part-time love
I don’t want to be wasting my time
it’s gotta be a legal love
I don’t want to be commiting no crime, no crime
1)
I know, what you want, to help you through
something, to comfort, and cheer up you
love, love, love – love, love, love
2)
Hidin’, won’t help, you if you’re alone
so try to, find someone, to call your own
love, love, love – love, love, love
Chorus:
I know what you want
I know what you need
love, love, love – love, love, love
3)
Heaven, will come down, and surround you
so baby, wait a while, and it’ll come to you
love, love, love – love, love, love
Chorus:
I know what you want…..
1)
Catch me now if you can
cause you’re a woman and I’m a man
pull me out and rescue me
from this nightmare and set me free
I can’t see you, I can’t hear you
2)
Who are you and who am I
is there hope for us to survive
throw a line in my sea
intoxications has blinded me
I can’t see you, I can’t feel you
Chorus:
Where are you, I can’t see you, oh-no-no
where are you, I can’t see you, oh-no-no
3)
Hallucinations, starts to show
my time is out, I’ve got to go
I’m freaking out at the speed of sound
just give my body to the lost and found
I can’t see you, I can’t hear you
I can’t feel you, I can’t see you
Chorus:
Where are you, I can’t see you, oh-no-no…..
1)
I’m waiting for night-shift, working eight hours every day
I’m dreaming bout freedom, just makin’ the hours slip away
I’m tired of working for a paltry pay
I’ve had enough now, I wanna get away
but, I’ve got every reason to feel alright
cause the camel’s gonna ride tonight
2)
When the night comes around here, I think that we can call it a day
the moon-ball is rising, I’m blowing all my worries away
I’m takin’ it easy, I’m takin’ it slow
I’m in control now, I know which way to go
Cause the eye in the sky-line, will be my guide
when the camel’s gonna ride tonight
Chorus:
Everybody’s beggin’, please
let me feel the desert breeze
come on baby, now, tell me please
the camel’s gonna ride tonight
3)
I’ll follow a moonbeam, I’m tripping the desert by the night
the temperature’s rising, my spirit’s reaching into the light
a desert of moonlight, is twisting my brain
but, I’m ready now, to kill the daily pain
and I’ve got every reason to feel alright
cause the camel’s gonna ride tonight
2. Chorus:
Everybody’s beggin’, please
give my humps a gentle squeeze
come on baby, now, tell me please
the camel’s gonna ride tonight
1)
I don’t want to be a fighter
I don’t want no war
I just want to play my music
and then I want no more
’cause when it comes to fighting
you know that I’ll be hidin’
behind my camel
2)
I don’t want to talk to you, now
I don’t want no words
you might think, that I am crazy
but, speaking often hurts
so, when it comes to speaking
you know that I’ll be freakin’ …..out!
behind my camel
3)
Rock’n’roll, Tequila sunrise
a lazy joint, and love
we all need a little something
to clear the sky above
you know it ain’t no new shit
but, I just want to do it…..ahhhh
Chorus:
Behind my camel – it’s a pill
Behind my camel – gets me high
Behind my camel – it’s my thrill
Behind my camel – makes me fly, so high
1)
Look at the young man in the uniform
he’s covered with blood, but he was too young to die today
a victim of cold war and the circumstance
it’s a lack of love and there’s no undo
2)
Look at the poor child, with the hungry eyes
and skin covered bones, but he was too young to die today
just one in a million, needing love and care
and a piece of bread, but there’s no undo
Chorus:
I’m sending out an invitation
to a neighbour from every nation
getting into a mind propagation
spreading love, it’s a man-vocation
3)
Now, look at the woman with the marks in her arm
she’s drugged’n’diseased, but she was too young to die today
greed and power’s rating higher than love
well it’s a fallen world, and there’s no undo
Chorus:
I’m sending out an invitation…..
1)
It’s a heartless and dreadful night
and nothing seems to turn out right
it started out so beautiful
and ended with a world so cruel
let’s make love, and stop the war
cause we just can’t take it no more
2)
Exploding bombs and endless fights
seems to fill these endless nights
are we too blind to realize
that we’re dancing on a very thin ice
let’s make love, and stop the war
cause we just can’t take it no more
Chorus:
Let’s stay together, red black and white
let’s change for better, let’s make it right
let’s stay together, let’s stop the fights
3)
Well if we try we can work it out
’cause in our dreams there ain’t no doubt
quiet nights and a peaceful dawn
like the moment a child is born
let’s make love, and stop the war
cause we just can’t take it no more
Chorus:
Let’s stay together, red black and white…..
1)
I can’t control the situation I’m in
it’s out of hand, and it’s too late
I’m loosing you and I am loosing my mind
seems like I just can’t concentrate
I’m going down, I’m going in sane
I go crazy, I’m loosing my brain
I’m going down, down
I’m going down
2)
Don’t know what’s wrong and I don’t know what is right
my mind is all mixed up with doubt
I’m trapped inside my aching body and brain
there’s no way in there’s no way out
I’m going down, I’m going in sane
I go crazy, I’m loosing my brain
I’m going down, down
I’m going down
Chorus:
Feels like a butterfly with wings of lead
flyin’ high without a safty-net
desperation grows inside my head
I’m going down
Chorus:
Feels like a butterfly with wings of lead…..
3)
I used to conquer every mountain top
I used to touch the sky
but now I’m walking on these oneway stairs
with an empty look in my eye(s)
I’m going down, I’m going in sane
I go crazy, I’m loosing my brain
I’m going down, I’m going down
I’m going down, I’m going down
